Closet doors don’t have to be boring anymore! Louvered closet doors may be just the thing to spice up your closet, and in fact your entire bedroom adding a touch of elegance and beauty that can turn your whole room around!
Some people simply like the basic regular blank door, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. But if you want something a little different, a little more elegant, a little more functional, and a little more exciting… then you’ve come to the right place. Today I’m going to talk all about louvered closet doors in as much detail as I can to give you all the information you need when making your closet door decision.
What are they? Louvered closet doors are fairly distinctive in nature. Generally speaking they come in bifold as well as multi-fold and sometimes a single door options to fit just about any frame that you might have in your house. One of the great things about them is that they allow your closets to breathe. That is to say, they really enhance the airflow between the rooms and also they allow your closets to ventilate in a way that is very helpful in keeping them murky smell out of your clothes.
Lets talk prices for a minute: these doors are quickly becoming some of the most popular closet door options in the country. Prices are going to run in a wide variety of ranges depending on the size of the door you need. Another consideration to keep in mind is whether or not your door will need to be custom designed. As with just about anything in this world, customization cost more money so keep that in mind.
Is there any major drawback? there actually is one small drawback that many people complain about quite often actually. What is the drawback? While you might not think it’s a big deal, but some people feel that these doors are little bit harder to keep clean than a regular blank door. Personally I’ve never had any trouble keeping mine clean but they do take just a little bit more work to keep them clean. I suppose it’s all those little wooden slots (for lack of a better word) that make up these beautiful doors. Personally I just use a nice feather duster and I find it gets into all of the little cracks quite easily and so I don’t really understand what the problem is when it comes to cleaning! But to each his own as they say.
What are they made out of? these doors are generally made out of wood but technically they can be made out of anything. And also when it comes to wood you have nearly infinite options as far as what kind of wood you’d like to use. Again this will be a function of price, as the more expensive woods are, well, more expensive! The good news is that no matter what your decor is in any specific room, you can find a wood that will match for these doors. Some more popular woods that are used include cedar, poplar, mahogany, oak, cherry, maple, and actually teak!
No matter what material you finally settle on, and no matter whether you have them custom designed or buy them in more generic ready made form, one thing is absolutely sure… and that is that your louvered closet doors will last for years to come and continue to bring you joy and beauty on a daily basis.
